It was brilliant! I had a philosophy exam on Saturday and luckily, the subject I picked was political life and the role of the State; the summary on Hobbes and Locke really helped ;) Even referenced to this lecture ^^

I respect Prof. Millican a great deal, despite I don't agree with him on some the points. He is gentle, and willing to open dialogue with opposition in a friendly, respectable manner.

I just got into philosophy, I was given A treatise of human nature by david hume... but I got lost in even the introduction... And It's my understanding that this is really a beginner level work... so.. any tips?

I am glad I am not in this class, everyone is sick. I can't concentrate on what he is talking about because there are so many people coughing! The professor is pretty good.

Can someone explain Hume's Copy Principle to me please? Thanks!
@Mraliaziz19 жыл бұрын
Hania Sisco In accordance to Hume, nature is the source of our ideas through copy principle. How? We form ideas about nature (life) when we observe the things and the images of these things are copied in our mind through customs and experience. This process allows you to know how the things work but it does not allow you to know the essence of the things because you know the effect of the things only (their movement, action, their appearance to you... etc.). So what about science? Hume believes that the purpose of science is not to make ultimate understanding of the enquiry ... Milican explained well in the minute: 1:58 onwards.

There are many avatars of Hume. He's one of those people who changed everything. Derrida's friend Deleuze wrote his first book on Hume, to take only one example. Hume pervades most subsequent thought, although different thinkers have more or less radical interpretations.

Isn't Derrida a modern day avatar of Hume so to speak?

How myopic are the philosophers-where is the origin the fabric the esscence-mute on that i beleive. Lets get our degrees first and leave real philosophy for later
